The Norfolk Hat is a cosy, slightly slouchy style beanie and the pattern is an easy introduction to moasic colourwork knitting in the round. It knits up very quickly, which makes it the perfect last minute gift for a knit worthy friend.
Using less than 100m each of the Main Colour and the contrast colour, the Norfolk Hat is also an excellent way to use up leftover yarns from special past projects.
The mosaic colourwork section has full written and charted instructions. Worked from the crown to the brim.

-100m (110yds) Main Colour & 100m (110yds) Contrast Colour DK/8 ply yarns.

-tapestry needle to weave in yarn ends.

Gauge/Tension:
